ARM Convention 1978 - Track Dept.

Tom Hunter sent us these photos he took back in 1978 before and during the ARM convention, which we mentioned earlier. The convention was held in August, but on July 4th weekend that year, there was the biggest flood IRM has yet experienced, and there were numerous washouts on the mainline and elsewhere. So a lot of trackwork had to get done in a hurry.

Some of the people in these pictures include the late Ralph Weege and our friend Josh Leppman who came in from Baltimore to help out.

Tom can undoubtedly tell us more about some of these shots. As he says, he's been working on IRM track for a loooong time!
